Life and work
Immediately after completing his art education in Amsterdam in 1981, Vlugt was one of the organizers of the alternative gallery Aorta in the old NRC building in the city center of Amsterdam. For two to three years, Vlugt formed an artist duo with Aldert Mantje. From 1983, they both made the switch to the "official" circuit and joined the successful and avant-garde gallery The Livingroom in Amsterdam. In 1987, to conclude their collaboration, the duo exhibited with a large museum overview "Gute Kameraden" in all rooms of the then Museum Fodor in Amsterdam.
In 1985, Vlugt received a travel grant for New York, where he lived and worked for six months and exhibited, including at the Germans van Eck gallery on West Broadway 420. In 1986, he left The Livingroom gallery and has since exhibited at the Nikki Diana Marquardt gallery in Paris. In 1987, he exhibited in Montreal in the exhibition "Out of Holland" in Canada's most important museum, the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal. He also had a major solo show at the Centre d'Art Plastique in Lyon. In 1988, he showed sculptures at the exhibition "La Giovane Scultura Olandese" as part of the Venice Biennale, which immediately opened up more opportunities for collaboration with international museums and galleries.
In the years that followed, Vlugt exhibited frequently in international museums and galleries, lived and worked for extended periods in places including São Paulo, New York, Cairo, Oranjestad, Auckland, Trinidad, the West Indies, and spent a year in the Van Doesburghuis in Paris. In 1994, he won the first prize of the National[source?] Graphics Prize and the fourth Belgian Graphic Industry Prize, and was among the world selection of twenty artists for the prestigious Senefelder Preis, Dusseldorf. In 1994, his major solo exhibition "Senses of reality" also took place in the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam. This exhibition later traveled to two Parisian museums.
From 1995 to 2002, Vlugt carried out a large commission on the site of the former Ajax stadium in Watergraafsmeer, including the Middenstip. He partly did this project together with the Scottish sculptor David Mach. In total, they made eighteen different ceramic works of art, three of which were 36 metres high.
In 2002, Vlugt was a visiting professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. From 2003 onwards, he made many images for polemical stories in NRC Handelsblad, for which he made use of his million-image analogue archive.
